They're actually global epidemic. And it amazes me that you can sell a ticket to someone who doesn't have the intention of physically putting a physical body of themselves, a friend or family in the seat. All it does is lock real dedicated fans out.

At the very least I think artists should be able to choose to not have their tickets sold on the secondary market.
